Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Mr.Blonde The life as it is. Naked an Row. I always had the notion of discrepancy between countries. What is right for us, for granted, another may be completely different. If I feel good, there is always someone who feels worse than ever and someone even better. Life in a Day is the maximum examples. The change in the camera. The change in vision. All of us in one way or another we have our problems, our way of solving it. And in the movie when all the stakeholders are willing to change. The one day be the day of the move. The day "today was not even bad" or "I have this problem, I will not change, but show you to learn how I am." Recommended and easy to read display, where are all heroes, connect a camera and answer "What is it you fear?I recommend that if only to see the epic fail in living room or bedroom.

Rajan Popat I was shown this film as part of my A2 Media course and did not know what to expect from a film which was solely made from a UGC website. First impressions of the film were that it would be a film that had no structure and no real story line and would just be numerous videos stitched together. My first impression continued to ring true through the first couple of minutes where the audience are shown footage of feet and a women in the dark. After the film continued, it showed to have a number of good points which made the film revolutionary and stand out against other more conventional documentaries The film, literally showed peoples days from getting up in the morning of the 24th July 2012, to sleeping at night, through the changes in dark and light. The good points continued as it showed the audiences real footage, in the sense that it was not directed, depicting their real lives, in their real homes and showing their real emotions. This allowed the audience to connect with the film which also made it revolutionary. I believe that film did contain a number of bad points, for instance the scene in which a cow was slaughtered. Even though the film is rated 12 and many 12 year olds do understand the killing of animals to provide their meat but may not actually have seen the killing process which could have shocked a much younger audience, even at this age this particular scene was hard to see. However as the film title depicts it is about people's lives and therefore could be justified that that scene was edited in. Another bad point of the film was the lack of narration. The lack of narration meant that the audience had to create much of their story in their head and had to find out themselves what was happening. This could be a bad point for the film as it does not make the viewing of the film "easy". Overall my opinion of the film has changed from my first impression and know do understand how this film is ground breaking in the film industry. I also believe that the way the film has been edited together to have a sense of continuity and flow and been an advantage for the film as it follows and standard "day" structure well.

rbferre How many times have you wondered how a human being lives in another city of this planet? Not something we see in the movies, just a regular, ordinary, mundane, and simple human being.How many times have you thought how life is short and how you should do to get the most of it.Well, this movie is about these questions and much more. Using raw footage sent by people from different backgrounds and 192 countries -which makes us think how powerful the media is - it takes to a fascinating journey to witness a long needed reality check. Fascinating in its own way, because the scenes you see are ordinary. And that is what the enchantment is... art from the ordinary.It is not a reality show, nor a fictional movie. Life in a Day is just... Life. With all frustrations , discoveries, sadness, and hopes. Just life.I watched this movie not expecting too much. And boy was I wrong - this kept me mesmerized for 94 minutes. And at the end, you will ask yourself if you are doing the best from your existence in this planet. Not to be missed!

thecatcanwait A mish mashy melange was my first reaction on watching this. Then i watched it again and could see more coherence in it.It's structured around all the ordinary small stuff we have to do to get through the every day: waking up, washing, brushing teeth, shaving, making breakfast, lunch and so on.And then there's the bigger life-events like coping with illness, getting married, having babies.Questions are asked like, "What's in your pocket?" or "What do you love/fear? A lonely guy loves his cat… another guy loves his fridge.. another guy fears his hair falling out… a woman fears "not being a mummy"… and so on..At times the editing is very fast: periodic montage sequences whizz by a conveyor belt of micro images like a Planet Earth ad break.But then there are several personal pieces that follow individual situations. I liked these slower stories better, such as The post-graduate returning to Essex to catch up with his "old man" dad, both sat in the car, sharing a burger.The gay guy coming out to grandma on the phone ("I love you too" he's saying to her) And the sad scenarios: of the father lighting incense at shrine of dead wife – and the little sons perfunctory remembrance of his mother; or the "Family project" of mother dying of cancer, trying to help her anxious young son make sense of it; or the thankful – tearful – Aussie in hospital after major heart surgery "I'll be out there again, doing crazy things, and enjoying life" he says. But you sense he probably won't.There's smiley bits too, like the Peruvian shoeshine boy; the rude wedding vows read by the English vicar.And some nasty bits, like the slaughter of cow, its throat being slashed into to let blood – and there's a rapidly cut together montage of scenes of violence and fighting – deliberately rushed through so as not to dwell too long. The shoplifting Russian/Slav is a bit dismaying too (firstly, that he's filmed getting away with it; secondly that the clip gets sent to be included in the film; and thirdly – that it is included!) Throughout, is the continual narrative thread of a Korean cycling around the world for the last 9 years – feeling homesick for Korean flies.Come the afternoon outdoor pursuits – like skydiving out of planes – and Life in a Day has got to feel exhausting.So much packed in, so much to pack in. I think a million sub-editors were needed to prune the 4500 hours of submitted footage into a mere 90 minutes – just a blink of the Earths eye really.To begin with i was wanting not to like it, but come the end i was won over. Out of all this mashed up diffuseness something cogent got produced. Although I wonder how much actual directing input Kevin MacDonald did to it. It looks more like a cut and paste collaboration, the chopped up product of countless hours of endless editing – rather than something that's been singularly created.Question is, would selective clicking on any YouTube vids on any day of the year produce the same result? No, cus this is more of a polished product. But watching a load of randomised clips would probably seem as arbitrary as this film feels. And the effect would feel similar: trawling in too much information just makes the net of your attention go saggy.I might watch this again one day (Unless they come up with another life in another day next year) At the end – 2 minutes before midnight – there's a girl in a car bemoaning the fact that "I spent the whole day waiting for something great to happen….all day long nothing really happened…i want people to know that i'm here…. i don't want to cease to exist" "I don't want to cease to exist". As long as you're seen on YouTube, you can pretend you don't. If you get my drift.
